EPA fines Iowa feedlot $25,000 for water pollution
November 23, 2009

The EPA has fined a northwest Iowa cattle feedlot $25,000 for violating the Clean Water Act by "allowing manure and wastewater to discharge into the West Branch of the Floyd River." Runoff from agricultural sources -- including feedlots and cropland where animal manure has been land-applied -- is a major concern for Midwestern water quality, since so much land is given over to agricultural use. Water from storms there frequently passes directly into rivers and streams that are used for public water supplies.

We can help you with lagoon liners and stormwater containment equipment to help control runoff from confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), as well as erosion controls. Please feel free to contact us with your questions.
